Fifth Harmony feat. Gucci Mane ~ Down {live}

I don't like the studio version, it needs a remix or re-record it with the band here. But this performance on the Tonight Show sounds good to me

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Always liked them and glad to see them continue on, and starting to at least write and work more with LIVE bands. Ironically they have done 4 extensive tours already pretty non stop since there first release. My only issue are the guest rappers same hooks and stuff kills songs, plus its overkill Gucci is already on another single by Selena Gomez "Fetish" with almost the same verses, so i see that more as a hinderance.

Rap breaks in songs have been around since at least the mid-1980s. After all this time, why would you think it's going anywhere? lol Hip hop replaced rock n roll in the mainstream.

True but what I am saying is "its not moving" sales airplay etc...at this point for most of the artists it is used for. You can overdue something and you would think that someone in marketing would realize at this point, "it aint working like it did in the 90's" And honestly with a song like this that is already under 3 minutes, do I really need a minute of Gucci Mane when I have 4 qualified vocalists.

I think it's not moving because it's boring and cookie cutter and literally not moving it's dull but let's pretend it isn't. They look like a Spice Girls cover band or a talent show on the Disney channel featuring Gucci Mane.

The lyrics to this song are so degrading. 'As long as you're holding me down' It implies being forced into something. They try too hard at being sexy.

Fifth Harmony’s Lauren Jauregui Slams Trump’s Motion to End DACA: ‘You Disgust Me’
Seth Kelley | September 4, 2017 | Variety
Fifth Harmony Lauren Jauregui
Fifth Harmony member Lauren Jauregui posted a note on Twitter Monday to express her contempt for President Donald Trump’s decision to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

The program, established by Barack Obama in 2012, protects undocumented immigrants who entered the country as children, from being deported. The White House plans to delay the enforcement of Trump’s decision for six months.

Jauregui, who is of Cuban descent, also referenced Trump’s controversial decision to pardon former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio.

“It’s incredible to me that you’ll pardon a man who is known for running his prison as a Latino concentration camp and call him a patriot, but then deport kids with a dream to be successful citizens with safe lives,” she wrote on Twitter. “You disgust me. You and your squad of Republican elite/cowards are truly sick humans. Pardoning criminals and criminalizing the vulnerable.”

Fifth Harmony is also comprised by Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, and formerly Camila Cabello.

Jauregui has been an outspoken critic of Trump in the past. When the president tweeted a video of himself body-slamming a man with the CNN logo superimposed over his head, she tweeted, “How the f— are you a president.”
